Description :

In the name of Allah the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
It has become apparent that Muslims living in the west are confused or left in the dark about the Islamic Ruling on joining the police force of a country ruing by other than Allahs Shariah.
With the help of Allah this article was written in order to clear the air surrounding such a ruling, after certain 'shuyukh' have kindled the fire of deceit underneath the feet of the true seeker of truth, and with more and more Muslims enquiring about this topic with no answers, we felt obliged to release this article.
This release only comes after failed attempts to push the local 'Muslim leadership' namely ANIC (Australia) to issue a Fatwah on the ruling of a Muslim 'JOINING THE POLICE FORCE/ARMY OF A LAND THAT IS NOT RULED BY ISLAM AND NOT KNOWN AS A LAND OF MUSLIMS?'

QUESTION:

MUSLIM--MUWAHID TO JOIN THE POLICE

IS IT PERMISSABLE FOR A MUSLIMFORCE/ARMY OF A LAND THAT IS NOT RULED BY ISLAM AND NOT KNOWN ASA LAND OF MUSLIMS?& ' 0 6 ; ' 6 ' 0 6 0 ' G 6 JK G Before we in sha Allaah, even attempt to answer this question, it is most important to firstlypoint towards crucial matters which must be taken in to account by every Muslim, once thefollowing matters are considered and digested properly the answer to questions such as theabove will be evidently clear bi;idhnillaahi taala.We in sha Allaah will try and keep the answer concise but due to the severity of the possibleoutcome the adala must be presented to be examined and taken on board.The First Matter:Matter: AL KUFR BITBIT-TAGHOUT.The pillar of Tawheed billaah, with which Allaah Taala charged his creation with is Belief inHim Subhanaahu with complete surrender and submission, thus the opposite also becomesa pillar for Muslims and that is al-Kufr Bit Taghout. For a Muwahid cannot be completewithout recognising what shirk and kufr is, due to the fear of falling in to it.The Most Merciful above His Throne revealed the ayat. k G w 6 6 G 0

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allaah and avoidTaghut." And among them were those whom Allaah guided, and among them were thoseupon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe howwas the end of the deniers. 16:36The word Taghut is derived from Tugyan. The literal meaning of this word is crossing theborder or to pass the limit. The definition of TAGHUT in the Shariah is: anyone whoexceeds the proper limits by ascribing to himself any of the rights of Alla and makes himselfa partner with Allaah.

And Almighty Says

G

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has becomeclear from the wrong. So whoever disbedisbelieveslieves in Taghut and believes in Allaah has graspedthe most trustworthy handhold with no break in itit. And Allaah is Hearing and Knowing.2:256And it is clear that a muslim can not become a moumin and a muwahid unless heunderstands al-kufr bit-taghout. (Majmuatul Tawheed Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab 1/14)Ash-Shaikh Sulayman ibn Sahman says: Allaah Taala has explained to grasp the most

trueworthy handhold, and that is the one who has committed kufr in the taghout (FalseGod/Deity/System), Allaah Taala mentioned first disbelieving in the Taghout before Beliefin Him Subhanaahu.Just like in the shahadatain, we first negate the taghout by saying LALA-ILLAAHA THEREIS NO GOD/DEITY/SYSTEM/CREATOR/SUSTAINER and then we acknowledege theonly One worthy of Worship, by saying -ILLA ALLAAH - EXCEPT FOR ALLAAH.Allaah Taala says further. K K 6 6 w

But those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allaah - forthem are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants 39:17

And avoiding the Taghout means to avoid, disassociate, hate, resent and warn against theTaghout, including the use of force if available and applicable, for who so ever claims al-kufrbit taghout but does not do any of the above is not sincere. (ad-Durarus-saniyya 10/502)Shaikh Abdur-Rahman Hasan says: Tawheed is kufr bit-Taghout, and you are a kafir in

everything besides Allaah. At-Tawheed is the essence of Imaan and it is Tawheed that youractions are judged upon. With it present the actions become permissible and without itimpermissible. (Fathul Maajid)Why do we insist on clarifying that disbelief in the taghout must be understood beforeanswering, it is because to build a house, the foundation must be laid first, there is no needto put the roof on a house with no foundation or walls?The speech of the Ulama on this topic is overwhelming and should be known as such, sothat every Muslim knows their right and knows how to perfectly Worship Allaah Taala.So without further listing ayat after ayat, to a genuine truth seeker it should become clearthat a rukn of atat-Tawhid billaah is alal-kufr bit taghoutNow as the matter of at-Taghout had become clear we can move on to the second matterand that is ruling by other than the law of Allaah Taala.The Second Matter:Matter: WHO IS THE LEGISLATOR.It is also very crucial that each Muslim knows, that every form of Legislation besides theLegislation of Allaah The Almighty if Kufr, AND IT MUST IN THE VERY LEAST BEAVOIDED, AND ONCE RECOGNISED IT MUST NOT BE ENTERED IN TO IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM.Sayings of the Ulama Regarding Ruling by Other Than What Allaah Has Revealed isoverwhelming, and we will list some of the fatawa in sha Allaah, but before that the ayat ofAlalh Taala the majority uses to prove this point is. 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6

Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [OMuhammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut,while they were commanded to reject itit; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray. 4:60As for the classical Ulama:Ibn Jarir at-Tabari said: "Allaah says, whoever conceals the Hukm of Allaah, which He

revealed in His Book and made it a law between the slaves; so he hides it and rules withother than it like the Hukm of the Jews concerning the married fornicators with whippingof the guilty and blackening their faces and concealing the Hukm of stoning and like theirjudging upon some of their murdered with full blood-money and some with half of theirblood-money. And concerning the noble people, they would have Qisaas but the commonerwould only get the blood money. But Allaah made all of them equal in the Tawrat: such arethe Kafirun. They are the ones who concealed the truth, which was upon them to uncoverand make clear. And they hid it from the people and they showed something different to thepeople and they judged according to that (changed Hukm) because of a bribe they took fromthem." (Tabari, Tafsir, 4/592)Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi (d. 456H) said: "Whoever rules by Injil in issues where there is no

text from revelation in the shari'ah of Islam; then he is a kafir mushrik outside of IslamIslam."(Ihkaam al-Ahkaam Fi Usoul al-Ahkaam, 5/153)Imam Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 596H) said: "And the decisive speech in this regard is that whoever

revealed; while rejecting it (in belief) and he knows that

does not judge by what Allaah has revealedit is Allaah who revealed it -as the Jews did- then he is a disbelieverdisbeliever. (Zaad al-Maysir, 2/366)Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) said: "WheneverWhenever a person makes halaal what is

haraam by consensus or makes haraam what is halaal by consensus or replaces the shari'ahthat is agreed upon by consensus, then he is a kafir by the agreement of the scholars of fiqh."(Majmu al-Fatawa, 3/267); And."The shari'ah revealed from Allaah, which is the Qur'an and Sunnah that Allaah sent HisMessenger with, no one from the creation is allowed to leavleavee it. And no one leaves it but akafir." (Majmu a-Fatawa, 11/262); And.kafir"And it is known by necessity in the din of the Muslims and by the agreement of all the

Muslims that whoever follows a shari'ah other than the shari'ah of Muhammad then he is a

disbelieverdisbeliever and it is like the kufr of the one who believes in some of the Book and disbelievesin some of the Book." (Majmu al-Fatawa, 28/524); And."AA scholar who abandons what has learnt from the Quran and the Sunnah and follows aruler who does not rule in accordance with the teaching of Allaah (swt) and His Messenger(saw) is an apostate and a disbeliever who deserves punishment in this world and in thehereafter." (Majmu a-Fatawa, 35/373); And.hereafter"If the ruler was religious and yet ruled ignorantly without knowledge, he would end up inHell-Fire. But if he is aware of the Divine laws and yet he ruled by other than the truth ofwhich he is aware, he would belong to the people of Hell-Fire. And if he rules unjustly andwithout knowledge, he would be more deserving of Fire. This in case he judges in a case ofan individual, but if he judges in a case which concerns the public, and altered the truth intofalsehood, and the falsehood into truth, the Sunnah into Bid'ah, or the Bid'ah into Sunnah,and the good into evil and the evil into good, and opposes the commands of Allaah and HisMessenger and commands what Allaah and His Messenger forbid, then this is another typeto be judged by Allaah, the Rabb of the Worlds, and the Ilah of the Messengers, the Proprietorof the Day of Judgment, to Whom belongs all the praise in the beginning and the end."(Majmu a-Fatawa, /388); And."There is no doubt that he who does not believe in the incumbency of ruling by what Allaahsent to His Messenger is an infidel. So he who deems it lawful to judge between peopleaccording to what he deems as justice without adhering to what Allaah sent down is an infideltooThere is not a nation but enjoins ruling with justice, although justice according to theirreligion is what their leaders or chiefs consider as such. There are many who claim to beMuslims, (who) rule by their mores and customs which were not revealed by Allaah, such asthe customs of the Bedouins, which they inherited from their forefathers who were obeyedrulers. They believe that such customs must be applied, excluding the Book and the Sunnah,and such belief constitutes infidelityThere are many people who accept Islam, but do notrule except by the prevailing customs that are commanded by obeyed lords (Taghout). Suchpeople know that it is not permissible to rule by other than what Allaah revealed, but do notapply them (falam Yaltazimu), rather they made Istihlaal (deem as lawful) to rule by otherthan what Allaah sent down, they are infidels, else they are Juhal." (Minhaaj as-Sunnah)Shaikh Abdullaah Ibn Abdurrahmaan Abu Batin, from the Modern Scholars, Ex-Mufti ofSaudi Arabia Ibn Baz, Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen, and many many others were of the opinionthat every law besides the Divinely revealed Law of Alalah Taala to Muhammad IbnAbdullaah salAlaahu alayhi wa sallam is a form of Taghout which is in Direct Conflict with

the Word of Allaah, for No man can replace the Rule Of The Most Merciful. Using the ayatof Alalah Taala.Now that the matter of Ruling by and obeying Laws other than those legislated by AllaahTaala have become clear we can move on to the third matter which is tawalli, or alliancewith the kuffar.The Third Matter: ALLIANCE AND DISAWOWALThere are multiple facets to al-wala wal baraa, but we will in sha Allaah deal with thosepertinent to the question posed at the beginning, Allaah Taala says: 6 ' 6

LetLet not believers tatakeke disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] doesAllaah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. Andthat has nothing with AllaahAllaah warns you of Himself, and to Allaah is the [final] destination. 3:28And.

Say, [O Muhammad], "IfIf you should love Allaah

Say, "ObeyMessenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allaah does notObey Allaah and the Messengerdisbelievers. 4:32like the disbelievers.For you who is reading this, There is one thing you must know, the aim of the enemies ofIslam - whether they are Atheists or Jews, or Christians or Modernists, or Zionists orBuddhists or Communists - is the emasculation of the Aqeedah of the Muslims, and theerosion of their unique character in order to make them 'the ass of the chosen people', (as it

is put in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion), once you understand this, the urgency of thisissue should become very clear to every Muslim and every Muslim should thirst to attain theknowledge required to protect himself and his family from the propositions as the one posedon top.One way of doing this is by endearing to the Muslims the very enemies that rape and pillagethem, by using pseudo Muftis and Pseudo Imams to make halal that which by now you cansee Allaah made Haram, and whosoever makes Halal what Allaah made Haram hascommitted Istihlal and this is Kufr Akbar.And to those mashayekh who, while they were ghuraba screamed we are ahlu Sunnah, yetwhen they went a level up in the dunya they changed their call due to peer pressure, we warnourselves first then the mashayekh who have flipped the page and gone to break bread withthe very same people they warned us about in the years gone, with the hadeeth of Hudhayfabin Yaman. 6 6 ' G G 6 G 6 G

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allaah ( )said:

There will be tribulations at the gates of which will be callers (calling people) to Hell. Dyingwhen you are biting onto the stump of a tree will be better for you than following anyone ofthem.So be weary Ibad Allaah, of who you take your religion from, our call is QAL ALLAAHUQALA RASUL SAL ALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM, AND IF WE CALL TOANYTHING ELSE THROW IT AWAY, IF WE CONTRADICT THE AYAT OF ALLAHOR HADEETH OF RASUL ALLAAH THROW OURS AWAY.

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as alliesallies. They are [infact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he isthem. Indeed, Allaah guides not the wrongdoing people. 5:51[one] of themTawalli to the kuffar is major kufr (kufr akbar), and there is no Tafsil in it.And the Ulama has listed it in to four types:1. Loving (Mahabbah) the kuffar because of their religion.Like the one who loves the people of Democracy for the sake of Democracy, and loves thelegislating parliamentarians, and loves the modernists and the nationalists and the likes ofthem, due to their goals and their beliefs. So this one is a kaafir with the kufr of Tawalli.(REFER TO THE SECOND MATTER WE ADRESSED ABOVE)He Subhanaahu said.

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [infact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is[one] of them. 5:51Because from the meanings of Wali is Muhibb (one who likes, loves); This was said byIbn Al-Athar in An-Nihayah (5/228).2. Tawalli through aid (Nusrah) and assistance (Ianah).Allaah Taala says: 6 JK JK 6

ThoseThose who believe fight in the cause of Allaah , and those who disbelieve fight in the causeTaghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.of Taghut4:76

This ayat above makes it clear that there is no grey area when it comes to matters of Allianceand Support and Assistance, be it in the form of Army, Navy, Airforce or Police, the samePolice that raids the homes of the Muslims and Arrests Innocent Muslims without charge,and handcuff our Sisters, Mothers and Aunties not allowing them even to cover themselves,all of this is in the name of the Police force which serves the Crown Court,So whosoever assists the kuffar against the Muslims: Muthaaharah (Assisting the kuffaragainst the Muslims), then he is a kaafir, murtadd. Like those who help the Christians andJews against the Muslims.3. Tawalli through alliance (Tahaluf).So whosoever allies himself with the kuffar, and contracts an alliance to support them- evenif the support does not actually take place- but he promises it, as well as to back them up,and he forms a contract and a pledge upon that, Allaah Taala said. 6 6 J 6 w 6 6

Have you not considered those who practice hypocrisy

hypocrisy, saying to their brothers who havedisbelieved among the People of the Scripture, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave withyou, and we will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we willyou." But Allaah testifies that they are liars. 59:11surely aid youAnd this pledge was given by the hypocrites to some of the Jews in Madinah.And Al-Qaasim Ibn Salaam said in Al-Gharib (3/142), And the Halif (one who pledgesloyalty) is (also) called a Wali. And Ibn Al-Athar said (similar words) in An-Nihayah(5/228).4. Tawalli through agreement (Muwaafaqah).Like those who make Democracy as a way of ruling, just like the kuffar; or makes parliaments,just like them; or legislative councils, or committees, or organizations; just like the actions ofthe kuffar- then this one has made Tawalli to them.

And each of these four types of Tawalli, is kufr within itself (expels from the fold of Islaam),it does not matter what the person believes, unlike what is said by the People of Irja.

As for Muwaalaat (and this is more wide-ranging than Tawalli), then it is of two types:a. A type that is called Tawalli; and it is the types that we have mentioned previously.And sometimes it is termed, Al-Muwaalaat Al-Kubraa (The Major Muwaalaah), or AlUthma (The Greater Muwaalaah), or Al-Ammah (The General Muwaalaah), or AlMutlaqah (The Absolute Muwaalaah) and all these are synonymous to meaning ofTawalli.b. The Minor or Restricted Muwaalaah.And it is everything that glorifies the kuffar; from honouring them, or letting them sit infront in the assemblies; or taking them as employees (instead of Muslims), and such things.So this is a disobedience and from the kabaair sins (major sins).Allaah Taala says: 6 G G 6 6 6 G6 J6 G6 6 JK JK

O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as alliesallies, extending tothem affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having drivenout the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in AllaahAllaah, your Lord. If you havecome out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends].You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and whatyou have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundnessway. 60:1of the wayFrom the proofs is the Athar of Umar ibn al-Khattab when he reprimanded Abu Musa alAshari for having a Nasaara Worker:Abu Musa Al-Ashari: I said to Umar, I have a scribe who is Christian. Umar replied,What is (wrong) with you? May Allaah Destroy you (Qaatalak Allaah)! Have you not heardAllaah saying O you who believebelieve!! Do not take the Jews and Christians as Awliya. They arebut Awliya of each other. And if any amongst you takes themthem as Awliya, then surely he isone of them. Why do you not take a Hanif (Muslim)?

Abu Musa then said: O Commander of the Muminun! I only need him to write (for me),and his religion is his (i.e. none of my business).So Umar replied, Allaah has given them disgrace, so I do not respect them. I do not givethem dignity, since it is Allaah that has humiliated them. I do not bring them close (to me),since it is Allaah that has removed them to the furthest limit (from us).Narrated and classified as Sahih, on the authority of Imaam Ahmad, in Iqtidha As-SiratAl-Mustaqim (50), and Al-Bayhaqi in As-Sunan Al-Kubra (10/127).So we once more ask you back,back, how can serving as a Police officer in a Country Governedby and whose head is the Queen of England, who is also the head of the Church of England,whose Flag is Proudly portraying the cross, ever be halal?halal?The Fourth Matter: BEING LIKE THEM, IMITATING THEM.The imitation of the kufar is a very dangerous matter in Islam, and we have multipleahadeeth where rasulAllaah orders us to differentiate from them, grow your beards, trimyour mustaches etc etcIbn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ( )said:

He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them.(Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.) , } - G - : - - } 6 6 ,( 1930).. A'isha reported that Allaah's Messenger ( )entered (my apartment) and I had hung (onthe door of my apartment) a thin curtain having pictures on it. The colour of his faceunderwent a change. He then took hold of that curtain and tore it and then said:

tormentent for the people on the Day of Resurrection would be for thoseThe most grievous tormwho try to imitate Allaah in the act of creation.

Narrated `Aisha: I never used to leave in the Prophet (( ))house anything carrying imagesobliteratedor crosses but he obliterated it. (Bukhaari)

The Standing Committee was asked to issue a fatwa concerning the type of imitation of thekuffaar that is forbidden. They replied:

What is meant by the type of imitation of the kuffaar that is forbidden is imitating themwith regard to those things that are unique to them, such as customs and beliefs and acts ofworship that they have innovated in religion, such as imitating them by shaving off thebeard and the festivals that they have adopted; and exaggerating about the righteous byseeking their help, circumambulating their graves, offering sacrifices to them; ringing bells;wearing crosses around ones neck or hanging them up in houses or having a cross tattooedon one's hand (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daaimah, 3/429.)It was narrated that Abd-Allaah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw Ali wearing two garments dyed with safflower andhe said:

TheseThese are garments of the kuffaar, do not wear them. Narrated by Muslim, 2077.

Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir said in his commentary on Musnad Ahmad (10.19):

This hadeeth clearly indicates that it is haraam to imitate the kuffaar in one's dress, one'sway of life and ones appearance. There has been no scholarly difference of opinion on thispoint from the earliest generations.Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Imitating them in outward matters leads to imitating them in attitude and actions, hencehencewe are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar, the Persians and the Bedouin, and both men andwomen are forbidden to imitate the opposite sex, as it says in the marfoo hadeeth: Whoeverimitates a people is one of them. Majmoo alal--Fataawa, 22/154.Certain types of imitation are Kufr Akbar, and the one who does so will become an apostate.Other types are Kufr Asgar (minor evil), and the one who does so will be sinful (not anapostate). Therefore one should not follow any person who is ascribed to anotherbelief/religion i.e. Jews, Christian, Atheist, Democrats, Hindus, Sikhs etc. The imitation thatis prohibited is in the area of clothing, food, customs, traditions, celebrations, belief.Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:The Prophet ( )said: "You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span

by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole ofAllaah's's Messenger ((( !))Do you mean)a mastigure, you would follow them." We said, "O Allaahthe Jews and the Christians?" He said, "Whom else?" 6 6 6

The fifth and final Matter: HOW TO ATTAIN PERFECT FAITH.

0 6

The Prophet (( ))said: The best of the actions is to love for the sake of Allaah and to hateAllaah..for the sake of Allaah 6 6 6

"Whoeveroever possesses the following three qualities will have theThe Prophet (( ))said, "Whsweetness (delight) of faith:1. The one to whom Allaah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.Allaah's's sake.2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allaah3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire."After only these three hadeeth above, and all the proof provided, we humbly ask, how canyou still consider becoming a part of a system which serves the cross, which targets Muslims,Muslims,which is partly responsible for Millions of dead Muslims from the Crusades to today, howcan you even consider it without shaking in fear of Allaah, thinking what will the outcomebe on the day of Judgement when we are raised up Naked and Afraid. AllaahAllaahulul Mustaan.We ask Allaah Taala to clense the muslims, to make us proud and full of honour with Islaminside our chests with our heads raised high, we are the ummah of MuhammadMuhammad and we willbe victorious.To Conclude: OUR AIM IS TO PLEASE ALLAAH TATAALA.It is the obligation of every Muslim to learn from Allaah's Deen whatever may serve as aweapon for him in the struggle against the friends of Shaitan l.a. In this he should have nofear and no misgivings, since the devil's strategy is always weak.In this way an ordinary man from the party of the One God will overcome a thousandscholars of the disbelievers.

We should all take heed, for ourselves and for those who are with us, so that we may warnall the Muslims who are slipping away into the abyss of kufr, warn them of the treacherouscall of the disbelievers to what they call 'brotherhood and equality', warn them of the falseclaim that religion is for Allaah but that nationhood is for the masses. This is not Islaam, inIslaam the Quran is the constitution, the Khalifa is the ruler, and the muslims are one nationnot divided in to sects tribes and casts.For the present, the evidence is clear from the Qur'an and the Sunnah that allegiance isdemanded by the declaration of faith since this is an essential part of its meaning. As IbnTaymiyyah has said:

"The declaration of faith, there is no god but Allaah, requires you to love only for the sakeof Allaah, to hate only for the sake of Allaah, to ally yourself only for the sake of Allaah, todeclare enmity only for the sake of Allaah; it requires you to love what Allaah loves and tohate what Allaah hates."So al-wala wal baraa also requires you to ally yourself to the Muslims wherever you findthem, and to oppose the disbelievers even if they are your closest kin. Once you dedicateyourself to the pleasure of your Lord regardless of the cost, you suddenly realize that no onecan deprive you of your life, neither man nor beast: the gun, the sword and the stone do notkill; it is ALLAAH Alone Who brings death and Gives Life.There is no stronger determination than that of someone who believes in Allaah. No mancan intimidate him and no army frighten him, neither flashing swords nor bullets falling likerain. Whenever a believer presents himself for battle in the path of Allaah, his strength ismultiplied tenfold. So where does this leave the competing religions, nowhere, Allaah Taalais on the side of the believers. 11 6 K 6 6 6

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you ascame to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship andwere shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When isthe help of Allaah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allaah is nearnear. 2:214Believing in the shahadatayn declaration of faith you can take command over your own life,take pride in yourself, in your confidence and determination, and in this way purify yourheart from the influence of avarice, jealousy, cowardice, spite, and all other vices. The most

important of these effects on the heart, is the knowledge that the declaration of faith guidesyou to understand the law of Allaah, and helps you to keep carefully to it. Thus you areawakened to the fact that Allaah is totally aware of everything, and that He is nearer to youthan your jugular vein; and although you may be able to escape from most kinds of danger,there is no escaping from Allaah.Ibn Rajab, when commenting on the declaration of faith, quotes Sufyian ibn Uyaynah:

"Allaah did not bestow upon His servants a greater blessing than the knowledge that thereis no god but Allaah. For the people of Paradise these words are the same as fresh water isto a people who live on the parched Earth. By it the scales of Heaven and Hell are set. Becauseof it the Messengers were sent into battle. Whoever declares it to be so, his wealth and hislife are protected, but whoever denies it shall find himself destroyed. It is the key to paradise,and the single call of all the Messengers."Finally, after all of these exertion, seeking only to advise sincerely hoping for the pleasure ofAllaah, We end it with this Hadeeth which explicitly speaks of the very matter and this isrelevant to a Muslim Land so how about a Christian one at war with Muslims. Ibn Hibbanin his Sahih relays the hadeeth and the wording is to Abi Yala, that: Abu Said and AbuHurayrah both said that: the Messenger of Allah G said:
